Employee Handbook.
The Employee Handbook is designed to hold all applicable policies and procedures and in one manual to facilitate training on and use by all employees. All employees should be required to read the manual and then sign a form indicating that they understand and accept its contents. Supervisors in particular should be trained on the policies and procedures. The board should authorize all policies in the manual and every employee should receive a copy of the handbook. Each handbook should highlight wording to the effect that the policies are for general guidance in the relationships between staff and the agency, the board has authorized the policy, that policies can be changed at any time and that the policies do not constitute a contract between the organization and the employee.
